Is working out 5x a week enough?
I can't really fit more in my schedule. I mostly do run 2x, yoga 1x and gym 2x. 2 full rest days.
Is that enough? Sometimes I feel like you should train or do sports 6-7x a week to get the full benefits. Like 2 rest days are too much if you want to get in a really good physical shape. NFL athletes train like 40 hours a week, my 8-10 hours seem like nothing compared.

It's too much probably.

Who cares about your feelings? Are you a woman? Feelings lie a lot.

>NFL athletes train like 40 hours a week
No, they don't, unless you count stuff like meetings and regeneration baths. Even if they did, they have access to so much regeneration (drugs, sauna, ice baths and the kitchen sink) that you cannot compare yourself to them.

Why are you comparing yourself to millionaires that get paid to train like that?
5 times/week is more than enough. Do not think about time invested but the intensity of the exercises you're putting in your routine. I think a new routine is needed.

I am fucking scared that I am potentially leaving gains on the table. I am already 25, I don't have many years left to get a good physique. What if you hit like 40 and you realize how much time you wasted because you didn't work out enough to get the optimal amount of health benefits. I can't get these years back.

You'll hit 40 and realize you wasted too much time in the gym instead.

The absolute mental state of Zoomers.
Man the fuck up. You have plenty of time to figure out the physique you want to develop according to you build and how to achieve it.
Do you think it is a straight line? LMAO. Trial and error, kiddo.

Yoga doesn't count as a workout. Not going to tell you not to do it, especially if you're a woman or a homosex, but it's not a workout.

That being said, don't compare yourself to a professional athlete or someone with no life for time spent in the gym. Ibwas watching a "how to raise your bench fast video" last night and it was 20 minutes of do this, do that, but for a throwaway line they mentioned the dude giving all the advice spent multiple hours a week on just his bench press. Like, come the fuck on man.

Jeremy ethier? Guy is a manlet, barely taller than jeff nipples.
Idk if yoga counts as a workout or not but I do it at a studio 75 min. I am always a bit sore the day after. I can do a full split though, so maybe it's just the intensity of stretching.

...yes, Jeremy Either. Had to go look it up - he's not someone I usually watch.

Yoga is good exercise in the same way walking is good for you. Sore? Sure, if you hit it hard enough and you're not accustomed to it, but that's true of any activity. There's a reason women like it so much, though: it's fucking easy compared to an actual workout.

My wife has been doing yoga for 20 years and just recently got on the strength amd protein train. She's suddenly finding out just weak she is - yoga didn't do shit for her.

Yoga is great for flexibility and balance, though, which are both super important for quality of life as we age. There's alternatives (Tai Chi, for instance, gives you all the same benefit plus there's weapon forms and you're not crawling on the ground) but few can be done as well in a limited space.

And to be fair, my wife is going through menopause (I'm old) but she can still just about wrap her ankles around her neck while I'm giving her the ol' roger-roger. She can keep doing yoga forever and I'll never complain.

You are right, yoga is easy but I will probably treat it like a workout as long as I get sore from it, which will probably last as long as I haven't hit the endrange of some of these poses, e.g. still can't plant my heels into the floor with downward dog or still cannot fully hug my legs with the forward fold.
I agree, great for flexibility and tons of cute girls (I guess you know haha).

I train six days a week.

Two lift heavy days, one arm day, two interval, one long run. Might get to the point I combine core and run days but more hassle than it’s worth.

Rest on Sunday.
